Mammography – Medical Imaging & Radiology Center
Early detection is the single best way to treat breast cancer. Your health means everything to us. An American Cancer Society study showed that mammography screening reduced breast cancer deaths by 63 percent. Another study found that digital mammography was able to detect cancer up to 28 more times in women who were younger than 50, premenopausal, perimenopausal or who have dense breasts. |
St. Alexius invested in digital mammography to make sure you have the most advanced technologies and treatments to fight cancer. Digital mammograms give the power and precision to see more. With digital mammograms, there is no need to develop the film so results are quicker. Digital images allow the radiologist to enlarge and enhance the image, adjust the contracts and zoom in on specific areas. Digital technology allows your radiologist to share your images and consult with other physicians to give you a prompt diagnosis. No matter what kind of mammogram you get – film or digital – early detection is key. St. Alexius breast cancer detection and treatment services are: Mammography |
